Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Why are there 17 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile recently
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
